okay so this is my very first fanfiction story. Hope you like it!

p.s. all characters are from the mind of the wonderful and amazing J.K. Rowling

"Ow!" cried the overly plump young boy. "Harry's hurting me again!"

Harry, his cousin, was a good 30 feet across the room glaring at his cousin as he made the accusation. He did not look like he was doing anything but looking at his cousin, but the Dursleys knew better. They knew what he was capable, and they did all they could to stop it.

"Potter!" cried Vernon as he strode across the room and dragged his nephew to the door of his 'room' below the stairs by the ear. SLAM! The broom cupboard shut and Vernon locked it with much gusto. "None of that funny business here! I will NOT tolerate you doing things to Dudley or any of us anymore!"

After seeing his cousin was properly disposed of, Dudley satisfyingly pounded upstairs, most likely to play his Xbox. Moments later, Petunia looked out the window and pointed at a small grey shape growing larger. "Is that…" Her voice trailed off as the blob formed into an owl and landed on the windowsill.

Vernon took the envelope out of its beak, trying to not get bitten. It read,

Dear Mr. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The letter went on to explain the items needed, but Vernon only cared about the sentence before the closing:

We require your acceptance or decline by July 31.

"Bingo," muttered Vernon to himself. "Our way out of this bloody mess." He took a pen and paper and handed them to his wife to write,

To whom it may concern,

We are proud you have chosen Harry for such a wonderful life. However, it is his (and our) wish that he stays here and go to a private school we have close by. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Vernon and Petunia Dursley

P.S. Please train your bloody bird to not bite. My finger will not stop bleeding.

He took the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and gave it to the bird, who then took off without a backwards glance.

hope you liked it! Please read and review! The next chapter will be up soon!
